SuNuag IN
Practicsl Thought from Practical Texts
by the severai Pastors OF Yankson.
AT the Methodist church yesterday il
was quarterly meeting service. Presi-
ding Elder l.. Hartsough, from Sioux
Falls, was in attendance, preaching Sat-
urday night and Sunday morning two
excellent sermons. In the course OF
yesterday morning sermon he took oo-
~casion to congratulate the church as
showing q better outlook for prosperity
than it had shown for years in the past.
Communion service was held at the close
of the sermon aud about 100 commune
aants partook OF the emblems. In two
months passed since conference during
that time eight persons have united with
the church. Paetor BurdIck preached at
night from the text, mot shis man but
Barsbbas. Now Barrabuas was a muir
derer." The preacher said that PLATE
was q coward and o genuine politician.
He was willing to sacrifice o mans lie
to retain his official position. he washed
his hands to show that he wss clear from
guilt In condemnation OF Jesus. This
wae solemn mockery, 1t wss ell In vain
in his endeayors In shifting this respon-
sibility in taking the life OF Christ. 1t
was certainly marvellous the choice OF
the people in choosing q murderer in
place of q just man. Nor was that the
last time q murderer was set free and a
good nan sacrificed. Barfsbas gladly
accepted the offered substitute. many o
man refuses Christ % his snbsti-
tute which has beer freely offered for
the salvation of the world. Christmas
tree Saturday evening. Only singing and
distribution of the presents. Every psr-
son coming is requested to bring 0 pota-
toe or an apple or something larger for
distribution to the poor.
At the African Methodist church also
it was quarterly meeting day, Pastor
McDonnsll, OF Sioux City, assisted Mr..
Higgins. 1t Was . good meeting full of
hopefulness for the future.
AT Christ church Rector Bohn dis
coursed in the morning on 1.-The Di-
Yinity of Christ"-a discourse, sepIete
with sound doctrine. The fire
which but for the bountitul supply of
water from the artesian well, would
have consumed that beautiful edifice,
interfered with further report and re-
suited in an indefinite postponement of
the evening service.
O. w. Brinstead, of the university at
Yermilllon. supplied for the Baptist
church yesterday. taking for his theme
in the morning, Gods Giofy Should
be the End in Men in all the Acts OF
Life 1t was eminently practical in it's
bearing. In the evening it was the
Straight Gate" He said the tendency
of our people was to allow themselves to
be attracted by new things, turning
away from the old paths. The general
missionary Of the Baptist missionary
society, Rev. II. G. Wood, of Lincoln !,
Nebraska, 10 to be in Yankton on We'd
nesday of this week and will most likely
address the people. He is q minister OF
ability.
At the Congregational church Pastor
Bradley gave q serSson in the morning
on the Parable OF the Talents" He
went on to sey that all public servants
would have q day of reckoning. When
the republican party turned the govern
ment over to the present administration,
every dollar, TO the last cent, was count
ed. Once a year, the bank inspector ex.
amined into the affairs OF the banks,
state officers had their day Of reckoning.
He spoke Of the hardship OF q territory
that the people could not call these Off
Gers to an account. The officials of this
church were soon to have o day Of
reckoning, not because they were
thought dishonest, but that the church
might know what had been done. He
spoke OF the advantage Of Congrega-
tionalism that it required an eccount OF
its doings being made to the people.
This week the schools in their exam
nation ere called to account for their
work-both pupil and teacher. Every
safe busin ass man reckops with himself
at least once q year, in taking an &C.
count OF stock as.
In this congregation before me to-day
there are leaders of public thought. 1t
would be we'll for each to review the
doings Of the year and see on wnioh side
their influence had been given. Others
are here who might have done great ser
vlce in the christian cause; it woald be
we'll for such to reckon with themselves.
In the evening "Tbe Imprisonment and
Beheading Of John the Baptist" wss the
subject Of discourse. John in his fear
less rebuking Of ain, his blameless life,
his courage, was put in living lines OF
contrast with the cowardice, wicked life,
his crimes and his murders. 1t was O
sermon which was timely, belonging to
the present age.
